108:1 O God, my heart is ready to praise you! I will sing and rejoice before you.
108:2 Wake up, O harp and lyre! We will meet the dawn with song.
108:3 I will praise you everywhere around the world, in every nation.
108:4 For your loving-kindness is great beyond measure, high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches the skies.
108:5 His glory is far more vast than the heavens. It towers above the earth.
108:6 Hear the cry of your beloved child—come with mighty power and rescue me.
108:7 God has given sacred promises; no wonder I exult! He has promised to give us all the land of Shechem and also Succoth Valley.
108:8 “Gilead is mine to give to you,” he says, “and Manasseh as well; the land of Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter.
108:9 But Moab and Edom are despised; and I will shout in triumph over the Philistines.”
108:10 Who but God can give me strength to conquer these fortified cities? Who else can lead me into Edom?
108:11 Lord, have you thrown us away? Have you deserted our army?
108:12 Oh, help us fight against our enemies, for men are useless allies.
108:13 But with the help of God we shall do mighty acts of valor. For he treads down our foes.
